Will my LG GBW-H20L work in the new Mac Pro?

I've got an LG GBW-H20L Blu Ray drive in my Vista machine, but am looking to get the new Mac Pro. I was wondering if I could move my LG into the Mac Pro with no problem? I've read some posts that mention an IDE to SATA converter, but this drive is already SATA. The Mac Pro is pricey enough without me having to buy another expensive drive.
Thanks in advance

I have one in my first gen Mac Pro. Lower tray, connected directly to one of the motherboard ODD SATA ports. Power is via a standard converter, old type to sata type. I only use it for burning data, never tried movies. Works fine.
Here is another thread about it.

  • Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.

  • Will a Presonus Firebox ever work with a new Mac Pro?

    I've seen all the threads on this here and other places. I've sent Apple a bug report. I hear other firewire audio interfaces are also having problems.
    When plugged in my Firebox causes kernel panics in audio applications. Unplugged everything works but I have to monitor through headphones.
    Apple supposedly knows of the problem. New firmware did nothing. Am I SOL? Do I need to actually buy a new interface? Maybe just an AD/DA?

    The 24" LED's Mini DisplayPort plug will go into a Thunderbolt port on the Mac Pro.  The 23" DVI display will need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

  • Why is my iSight camera is not working with the new Mac Pro?

    I connected the iSight camera which is a FireWire 400 into a Sonnet FireWire 800 adapter, and connected that into a FireWire to ThunderBolt adapter and plugged directly into the Mac Pro running Mave. I receive power, noted by the green light coming on, but the computer does not recognize a camera. Does anyone have an idea why this is.

    We are all busy with many other problems in Pages 5.
    Unless you have found some real reason to use Pages 5 just go back to Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications folder, until Apple sorts this all out.

  • How to use hard drives with the new mac pro

    A few quick questions about upgrading to new Mac pro desktop
    I currently have 4 internal hard drives for a total of 8T
    What will the solution be to add storage to the new desktop?
    I assume it will be thunderbolt options?
    Lets say I wanted at least 8TB of storage to add to the computer
    and attached the storage via thunderbolt will it be as fast data throughput
    as the harddrives in my current computer hooked up to the external bus?
    I also have a pci card running my audio plugins for Universal Audio how will those pci
    cards work on the new mac pro?

    Also will the transfer rate with the pegas be as fast as if the drives were connected to the bus in the machines like the old mac pro?
    To answer that, think of this as a Bottleneck problem. The overall performance is as slow as the slowest device.
    At this writing typical rotating drives can produce a momentary burst at 125 MBytes/sec or 1,000 Mbits/sec. Only FireWire 800 is starting to be a limit for that -- EVERYTHING else is faster. Thunderbolt-1 is 10,000 Mbits/sec -- ten times faster.
    The best SSD can produce a burst at maybe 800 MBytes/sec or 6,400 Mbits/sec. There is not a big speed difference in an SSD RAID, because the latency is already low. But the 10,000 Mbits/sec of ThunderBolt-1 is still plenty fast enough for that as well.
    If ThunderBolt-2 devices really can run a single data stream at 20,000 Mbits/sec, that does not make ANYTHING faster -- it just moves the ceiling (potential bottleneck) a bit farther away.

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

    I have same problem, been using a macbook 13" for nearly 9 years but it was failing so I bought a macbook pro 15" and after having problems and error messages when trying to download loops ( I finally went to the App Store and opened garageband from there which install some loops), it finally downloaded some but not all the loops that my jam packs had, also I have tons of non-apple loops that I purchased over the years but I want to know if they will work on my new mac ?

  • Will my 30" apple display work on a new mac mini

    I want to upgrade to an new mac mini and from my Powermac G5.. but I ave a 30" apple cinima.
    Will it work on the new mac mini?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi Martin, the Mini only has Thuberbolt for Displays...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)
    Though that article says...
    This makes the system backward compatible with existing DisplayPort hardware upstream of the driver. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort.[6] Existing Mini DisplayPort adapters for DVI, dual-link DVI, HDMI, and VGA are compatible with Thunderbolt, allowing backwards compatibility and no loss of functionality compared to Mini Displayport.
    I cant find any!

    Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion?
    I am just about to install Lion just need to check to see if if my work e-mail will work

    Sarah,
    Check this link:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2533
    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

  • Will the new Mac Pro support VMware fusion?

    We've all been waiting patiently for the new Mac Pro. Is VMware Fusion 6.x going to be compatible?

    Does VMware Fusion run on Mavericks?  Assume the new MacPro ships "Real Soon Now", then Mavericks will be the operating system, and genrally speaking that is more important then the actual Mac.
    If you have a Mac running Mavericks AND if VMware Fusion runs there, then it should run on the new MacPros, but until the new MacPro actually ships, no one can be sure.
    And if VMware does not work, there is always Parallels and VirtualBox.

  • Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

    Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
    Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
    2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    OSX 10.9.2
    I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
    When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
    "After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
    My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
    So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
    I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
    I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

    > I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    Ugh. That causes so many problems.
    The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.
